The golden story of all the Missions is twined around that glorious name. All the richness of the Catholic Way of lite, the culture, the industry, the zeal, the kindness, the love that is forever a part of the Missions stems from the immortal Serra! The Missions were founded to bring God to His creatures, teaching, training, forming, ever God-ward.
